since you have Zoom H4N, a better setup would be: enable 4 channels in the Zoom: plug in microphone to the bottom, this will bring your voice to the Zoom device; then aux cord 3.5mm both ends - 1 end will go to the Zoom and the other end to the cellphone, this will bring the audio from the person talking on the phone straight to the Zoom device; then plug in your headphones on the left of the Zoom device (Line), this will bring the audio from Zoom to your ear so you can listen as well. Given the 4 channels capability, the recording quality will be astonishing
